A profile for health advocacy I’m now doing under my main profile @zaailor and a newer, more ignored & pointless subsidiary health site @miSIXeWay.

ONCE HOBBLED by #MS I now take 4000IU/Day of #vitd. It may be wise for others to also do, to cut the risk of being hit w/ #MS (#metooptsd #pinkshirtptsd) if sheltering from #covid #heatwaves #forestfiresmoke etc that CUT sunlight, social supports, & INCREASE abuse/trauma events.

@Kanhehsiio @WilliamValdar The rapid 50yr rise in the ratio of #MS cases between ♀ vs ♂ to 3.2:1… that “MUST HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL ORIGINS and which “implies a large proportion of MS may be PREVENTABLE in situ” TRACKS #labourforce data of @EmilyRPeck @MatthewPhillips https://t.co/L94dYkeEx1

#LowFat diets that swap slow-digesting fats with fast-metabolizing high #GI carbs that repeatedly spike & crash blood sugar levels & appetite, became increasingly #obesogenic as the population become increasingly* inactive & sedentary.

#china: I saw/feared where #globalwarming would lead, So TY for this evidence, that being a father in 1984, would abdicate the directive (ignored by #globaleconomy’s brood-stock) not to contribute to putting my grandkids in harms way, by being a #father. https://t.co/fsNpdG4TPW

.@taraparkerpope’s To #sleep https://t.co/jx7t8Rp44X I focus on slowing my breathing. In doing so “the parasympathetic system (what we call the ‘rest & digest’ system) hopefully takes over & helps calm you down,” states #insomnia specialist @DoctorRajD in https://t.co/x1fSJHtAJE.

This is a terrific opportunity!

"Treatment is Poilievre’s preferred approach," writes @cselley. "Treatment is pretty much everyone’s preferred approach. But it has been proven entirely ineffective with cadavers."

Elon Musk is single-handedly responsible for the the most rapid and spectacular value destruction in the history of capitalist enterprise.

.@DouglasTodd What @TomDavidoff @Paul_B_Akaabre et al show https://t.co/r6r5f7IrjN, is how rules have historically been stacked to benefit the #LandedGentry https://t.co/cUvals125B. After sharing the vote, squires contributions to society shud now better align with their homes.

3) your fight against #sugar being added to foods is like the pilots of @AmericanAir’s flight 587 that were were “inadvertently trained to react more aggressively than was necessary” & ripped plane’s tail off https://t.co/H71wantgJZ

3) your….?

[Robert Lustig MD @RobertLustigMD]

IFIC (International Food Information Council) is the PR arm of the food industry. So it makes sense that they should be in the business of discrediting scientists, including me. That isn't surprising.

@RobertLustigMD Thank you for not following the paradigm.

[Robert Lustig MD @RobertLustigMD]

In my book, Metabolical, Ch, 4 is titled "Dietitians Lost Their Minds." Apparently, I was wrong....@garyruskin and @USRightToKnow found their minds for them, by analyzing the communications of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Hmmm: Ukraine casualties and B.C. overdose deaths: The latest confirmed (i.e. actual number higher) UN civilian death count in Ukraine — 3,381; B.C.'s war-on-drugs approach to health emergency — 9,586.

Today is the 1st ever #NationalFentanylAwarenessDay & if you take no other piece of info away from today, let it be this:

Criminalizing fentanyl possession will not stop fentanyl overdoses.

In fact, fentanyl criminalization will INCREASE overdoses.

[Robert Lustig MD @RobertLustigMD]

(1/2) What a surprise. 95% of the members of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee over the past decade have conflicts of interest with the food industry. Just for the record, I've never taken money from a food company and never will.

Even if #covid never hospitalized ppl, survivors were respectively 63% & 52% more likely to have a #heartattack, or #stroke. But traditional tests don’t give warnings. Damaged nerve fibers controlling circulation may be to blame. For symptoms/solutions see https://t.co/lusFwMwdr8

@sheenarossiter @StephSDubois @thewalrus @nicoleschmidt94 Not to dispute #Workaholism but do u have non-pandemic data for #Canadians liquidating holiday credits? 2020 data is a likely poor: #COVID19 impediments to travel & socializing likely would’ve increased number of people banking their credits, to use later when mandates come off.

@AaronCosbey @ScarletBjornson Economy is built on #enfeebling, by ppl become specialists, learning one narrow skill set very well, leaving them falling off the ladder if they reach outside their expertise silo. Stat I saw is >30% of ppl don’t know how to cook, I expect > among men, where biases shackle’em.
